'There is a holy well there (Rabbit island), where 'rounds' used to be paid in olden times, and a strand there is still called Traig an Tobair' (Burke 1914, 69); unable to locate. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
